FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE VIPER ROOM LAUNCHES “FIVE (OR MORE) QUESTIONS WITH TOMMY BLACK” PODCAST
LOS ANGELES, CA. (July 23, 2019) – The Viper Room announced the launch of its podcast, “Five (or More) Questions with Tommy Black” featuring intimate interviews with some of rock and young Hollywood’s hottest talent, including Todd Ogren (Rival Sons), Jeff Schroeder (Smashing Pumpkins), Chris Wyse (Hollywood Vampires), and Rob Raco (The CW’s “Riverdale”), to name a few.
Viper Room’s General Manager, Tommy Black (Double Cobra, Palo Alto, Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts), originally started the series in April 2018 as a blog feature and a casual interview with T.S.O.L. Using his personal connections from more than 18 years with the Viper Room, Black’s interview style is personable, comfortable and humorous, often getting the musicians to share never-before-heard stories about the Viper Room or, for example, what it’s like to be on the road with Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, The Cult, and more.
“The idea for the podcast came about organically,” said Black. “I started recording interviews with the artists to promote shows and we put them up on the Viper Room blog. It’s grown from there and we decided to make it a true podcast. It’s been fun to share stories from the bands and Viper Room.”
Since its opening in 1993, the world-famous Viper Room (also known as Johnny Depp’s joint) has hosted the likes of Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stone Temple Pilots, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, Queens of The Stone Age, Courtney Love, Natalie Cole, Elvis Costello, Pete Yorn, Lenny Kravitz, Pearl Jam, The Strokes, Weezer, Maroon 5, John Mayer, Iggy Pop and Sheryl Crow, as well as an array of other internationally established artists and the cult favorites of America's underground. This intimate nightclub, situated in the heart of the world-famous Sunset Strip, is styled in the fashion of Harlem's great jazz clubs of the 1920's.
“Five (or more) Questions with Tommy Black” is produced by Tommy Black and Prickly Pear Marketing; and available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher, TuneIn and YouTube. New episodes are released every Monday.
